PATAGONIA'S EL COMISARIO: El Comisario is a spectacular boy with a true to type head, thick bone and a dense, crimpy fleece. El Comisario’s dam, Patagonia's Chic, is one of Patagonia's top true black females and descends from our best black female line. From this line, have come our most successful black alpacas such as Queen, Black Rose, Sombra, and Simone to name a few. All of these girls have won multiple black championships at level 5 shows and have all been AOBA National black color champions. El Comisario is sired by El Vasco, Patagonia's top Neruda son. Like his sire, we expect El Comisario to maintain a soft hand in his fleece as he ages. We have had such success with this breeding combination that we have bred Chic to either El Vasco (Neruda son) and Neruda 7 times. Closely related siblings to El Comisario include, Patagonia’s Juniper who sold as a maiden for $80,000, Patagonia’s Mondavi who was on our 2006 showstring and is now a working herdsire, Patagonia's Gaucho, a black herdsire on Patagonia's farm and Patagonia's Laelia. Comisario's first crias arrived in 2012!

Congratulations and thank you to David Demchak on his purchase of Patagonia's Calida! PATAGONIA'S CALIDA Calida hit the gene pool jackpot! Her sire, Patagonia’s Ernesto is our superb Judge's Choice, 7x Champion & 5x Get of Sire award winning light brown herdsire. He is well known for his ability to stamp his positive traits onto each of his offspring. Her paternal grandsire is multi-champion Patagonia's Lennox. Calida's dam, Patagonia's Harlow, is the daughter of 7x Champion Kaspa, who is the most beautiful shade of pink. His fleece is very bright, dense and crimpy yet has a very soft handle. Harlow's paternal granparents are El Padre & Melosa and her maternal grandsire is Danko. Offspring: On 7/1/2014, Calida gave us a handsome DB male sired by Patagonia's El Comisario, our champion producer who descends from the finest black line of Patagonia's genetics. On 9/20/2016, Calida presented us with a lovely MB female sired by our Snowmass Pure Passion. Passion represents 30 years of passion in breeding for the perfect colored fleece on the most beautiful bodied alpaca. All of Passion's crias have amazing bright and very fine micron.
